A more easily attainable standard could have reduced the time it takes for the SC to come, and because of that, reduced the amount of suffering the world undergoes."

I agree completely. But I'm not the one setting the standard--that was JC himself.

I think you're right. If god is just going to intervene at some point in human affairs and just punish and reward everybody, what's the value of free will? The intervention is inevitable.

Hi Y'all,

And umm...excuse me, but I think many Christians will simply say that Jesus' 2nd Coming is effectively the end of free will, anyway. If you haven't chosen Jesus by then, it's all over! There will be no need for FWD at all.
